OVERVIEW: THE BIGBOSS (1) was resuming since a third in the Breeders Crown when he led throughout at West Wyalong. He wasn’t overly impressive first up but he got the job done and he should strip fitter so he must be respected. ALBY TWO CHAINS (8) scored impressively at Bendigo last week and has the perfect trailing draw behind the likely leader in THE BIGBOSS (1) so there is no reason why he can’t be competitive again. LOUIE LOU I (4) was very heavily supported last week when a game second behind Layden, where he switched back to the inside on the home turn and finished fast via the sprint lane. This race is of similar standard and he is worth thought again. GIPSY PRINCESS (9) has been racing in good form and HES CHARLIES ANGEL (11) gets into this race nicely with the aid of a concession claim. EARLY SPEED: 1 (likely leader), 4,7 RATINGS: 1,8/ 4/ 9,11/ 7/ 6,10

Race comment
OVERVIEW: THE BIGBOSS (1) was resuming since a third in the Breeders Crown when he led throughout at West Wyalong. He wasn’t overly impressive first up but he got the job done and he should strip fitter so he must be respected. ALBY TWO CHAINS (8) scored impressively at Bendigo last week and has the perfect trailing draw behind the likely leader in THE BIGBOSS (1) so there is no reason why he can’t be competitive again. LOUIE LOU I (4) was very heavily supported last week when a game second behind Layden, where he switched back to the inside on the home turn and finished fast via the sprint lane. This race is of similar standard and he is worth thought again. GIPSY PRINCESS (9) has been racing in good form and HES CHARLIES ANGEL (11) gets into this race nicely with the aid of a concession claim. EARLY SPEED: 1 (likely leader), 4,7 RATINGS: 1,8/ 4/ 9,11/ 7/ 6,10
